How come I'm seeing old avatars in quotes?

That would be probably a question for discourse. But is this really worth thinking about?

I don’t know what criteria you’re referring to, @Duha.

I also see the old avatar. But is this really something to think about? For me no!

But people are different, so if you do care or are interested: Ask on the discourse forum, there you have a better chance to get an answer.

Duha is referring to the fact that it’s pretty obviously a bug in the forum software itself, and is also such a minor visual glitch as to be unremarkable.

Regarding that, I expect so too, but do you know how I could ascertain which version of Discourse this instance is running? If it’s the latest stable, I can probably report it to Discourse Meta, but otherwise, it would probably just sit in bugs.kde.org forever, so I won’t bother unless I can reproduce over there (in which case it would go to Discourse Meta anyway).

I’m not sure if there’s a place for regular users to see it, but it’s 3.2.0.

The build and git hash are in a meta tag named “generator”.

Command to easily extract that tag:

curl https://discuss.kde.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator

Thanks, @dirthsj! That makes diagnosing such things a million times easier:

  1. curl https://discuss.kde.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator

    <meta name="generator" content="Discourse 3.2.0.beta4-dev - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version 34a859d628b5c0689158a222aca7cb9a817a46c7">

  2. curl https://meta.discourse.org -s 2>&1 | grep generator

    <meta name="generator" content="Discourse 3.2.0.beta4-dev - https://github.com/discourse/discourse version d93be8c7a1fcf77f51408264731f284da46e6c0c">

I’ll continue this over at
